Truth be told, if I owned a 20-man business, I wouldn't want to hire Americans either.
I thought you were opposed to immigration.
I have no real position on legal immigration. I oppose illegal immigration on principle.
But that is beside the point: I have money saved for an IRA that I really don't know how to invest -- every investment** seems like a trap these days. Extrapolating that, if I owned a business, and if I had the capital to hire new employees (particularly expensive American ones), I wouldn't choose to do so in this environment.
edit** I should clarify: Every investment that is available to me as a US resident investing my meager sum in an IRA. The economic activity taking place abroad is only indirectly captured by standard IRA investments.
